  • Go With the FLOE: How Polar Bears Stay Steady When Life Keeps Shifting Beneath Them

    Go With the FLOE: How Polar Bears Stay Steady When Life Keeps Shifting Beneath Them
    2025/12/17
    Episode 66

    Guest: Daniel J. Cox, Award-Winning Wildlife Photographer and Director of The Arctic Documentary Project for Polar Bears International

    What if resilience during the holidays and shifting seasons isn’t about just holding everything together? How much better would it be to meet each moment and each challenge with calm and ease?

    In this episode of Resilience Gone Wild, host Jessica Morgenthal returns to one of her most beloved animals — the polar bear — to explore a resilience mindset that feels especially grounding this time of year. As many of us move through holidays, shifting routines, emotional complexity, and the turning of the year, the polar bear offers a powerful model for meeting change with steadiness rather than strain.

    Through immersive storytelling and a deeply thoughtful conversation with legendary wildlife photographer Daniel J. Cox, we explore how polar bears adapt to a world that never stops moving — and what their wisdom can teach us about living with more presence, patience, and trust.

    This episode introduces the FLOE Mindset:
    Flexibility
    Letting go
    Observation
    Energy conservation

    A resilience tool inspired directly by how polar bears survive and thrive on constantly shifting ice. FLOE is both a metaphor and an acronym — a reminder that life keeps moving beneath us, and we can move with it.

    Episode Overview

    The episode opens on the Arctic ice, where Jessica revisits the story of a polar bear mother navigating a landscape that is always in motion. Her calm, strategic adaptability becomes the foundation for the FLOE Mindset — a way of meeting uncertainty that feels especially meaningful during the holiday season and the transition into a new year.

    Jessica then welcomes wildlife photographer Daniel J. Cox, whose decades of documenting polar bears and Arctic ecosystems have shaped how millions of people understand these animals. Through Dan’s stories, we explore the discipline of waiting, the humility of stepping out of the frame, the ethics of witnessing, and the awe that emerges when we stop pushing and start paying attention.

    The episode closes with a reflection on practicing FLOE in daily life — slowing down, conserving energy, making small adjustments, and choosing gentler transitions. It also includes a call to support the conservation efforts that allow polar bears to survive the rapidly changing Arctic.

    Awakening Our Soulful Intelligence: What the Octopus — and Sy Montgomery — Know
    2025/12/03
    Episode 65 Awakening Our Soulful Intelligence: What the Octopus — and Sy Montgomery — Know Guest: Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus What if resilience doesn’t come from thinking harder or pushing faster, but from listening more deeply to the intelligence that already lives within us? In this episode of Resilience Gone Wild, host Jessica Morgenthal explores the quiet, embodied wisdom of the giant Pacific octopus—and how soulful intelligence can help us navigate our own lives with more clarity, connection, and compassion. Joined by Sy Montgomery, bestselling author of The Soul of an Octopus, we step into a world where intelligence is fluid, intuitive, relational, and alive in every moment. Episode Overview In “Soulful Intelligence,” Jessica takes us into the cool stillness of a Northern Pacific kelp forest to meet the giant Pacific octopus—an animal whose distributed, sensory-rich intelligence reveals a different way of knowing the world. Through vivid storytelling, we witness how octopuses perceive, choose, communicate, and relate with a depth that challenges human assumptions about consciousness. This exploration becomes the foundation for a rich conversation with Sy Montgomery, who expands our understanding of soul, presence, and cross-species connection. Through Sy’s stories—of octopuses, dolphins, turtles, caterpillars, dogs, and the living Earth itself—we learn how soulful intelligence deepens resilience, awakens awe, and invites us into a more relational way of being. The result is an episode that reconnects us to our own inner wisdom, to the creatures who share our planet, and to the subtle intelligence that thrives everywhere life is paying attention. What You’ll Learn How the giant Pacific octopus models soulful intelligence through presence, perception, and attunementWhy soulful intelligence integrates mind, body, intuition, values, and relationshipsHow slowing down expands our ability to sense meaning and choose wiselyWhat Sy Montgomery has learned about consciousness and soul from octopuses, turtles, pink dolphins, chimps, and caterpillarsWhy love and curiosity are powerful tools of inquiry in science and in lifeHow awe, reverence, and “beginner’s mind” build resilience and restore connectionHow small acts of mending—of relationships, ecosystems, and daily choices—strengthen both the world and our own internal steadiness Episode Highlights [00:00] Intro [02:00] Distributed intelligence: sensing, learning, and decision-making across the body [04:00] Camouflage as expression: color, texture, emotion, and attunement [06:50] A quiet greeting: two octopuses meet with curiosity [08:50] Defining soulful intelligence [11:15] Why soulful intelligence strengthens resilience Conversation with Sy Montgomery [12:21] Welcoming Sy: the writer who opened the world to octopus consciousness [14:00] Sy’s octopus teachers: Athena, Octavia, Kali, and Karma [16:10] Soul as connection to the rest of creation [18:25] Why naming animals changed the science of behavior [22:39] Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, Biruté Galdikas, and the revolution of relational science [27:07] Scar tissue, resilience, and the sacredness of mending [33:01] The living Earth, Gaia, and the soul of the planet [35:06] Awe, reverence, and the responsibility of connection [37:36] Mending as antidote to helplessness [49:20] How humans silence their own intuition—and how to restore it [53:49] Being massaged by pink dolphins: a story of cross-species soul [56:42] The feedback loop of doing good [59:16] Caterpillars, memory, and the persistence of soul [01:02:10] Closing reflections: the intelligence that waits beneath our first thoughts Meet the Guest Sy Montgomery is a naturalist, bestselling author, and one of the world’s most beloved interpreters of animal consciousness. Her book The Soul of an Octopus was on the New York Times Bestseller List, was a National Book Award finalist, and reshaped public understanding of invertebrate sentience.

  • A Thanksgiving of Appreciation: Resilience Takes Root When We Honor One Another

    A Thanksgiving of Appreciation: Resilience Takes Root When We Honor One Another
    2025/11/24
    Episode 64 A Thanksgiving of Appreciation: Resilience Takes Root When We Honor One Another In this Thanksgiving episode of Resilience Gone Wild, Jessica Morgenthal explores the ancient ecological wisdom of the Three Sisters—corn, beans, and squash—and how their centuries-old partnership reveals a living model of regeneration, cooperation, and shared strength. Through immersive storytelling and a powerful conversation with regenerative systems expert Rob Avis, this episode shows how appreciation circulates energy through people, communities, and ecosystems, transforming gratitude into something active, connective, and life-giving. What if Thanksgiving is really an invitation to let our giving nourish the world that nourishes us? What You’ll Learn How the Three Sisters model interdependence, ecological intelligence, generosity, mutual support, and shared abundance How appreciation is more active, expansive, connective, and outward-moving than gratitude How energy follows attention, and how what we pay attention to shapes our path The difference between the sphere of influence and the sphere of concern, and why it matters How regenerative systems allow energy to flow outward, strengthening community How regenerative agriculture and Indigenous farming practices reveal long-term resilience How sensory awareness, humility, and awe reconnect us to the living world How small, intentional actions create large, positive ripples across systems and generations How regenerative agriculture echoes the ancient teaching of giving back more than we take Episode Overview In this special holiday episode, Jessica guides listeners from a glowing Thanksgiving table into the quiet beauty of a November garden. There, the Three Sisters—corn, beans, and squash—become teachers of partnership, reciprocity, and ecological resilience. Their intertwined lives show how appreciation keeps energy flowing through the whole system. Jessica then speaks with Rob Avis, engineer, regenerative designer, and Co-Founder of Fifth World. Rob’s journey from the oil and gas industry to regenerative land restoration reflects the core message of this episode: appreciation is energy in motion. He shares insights about how attention shapes reality, why our sphere of influence matters more than our sphere of concern, and how regeneration begins with humility and intention. The result is a Thanksgiving episode rooted in warmth, wisdom, and renewal—an invitation to shift from gratitude to appreciation, and to let our giving nourish the world that nourishes us.

Name what you see in others that is generous, skillful, wise, or steadying. Notice and record it. Keep a brief note of moments when someone lifted the energy in a room or made life easier. Re-sensitize yourself. Step outside for two minutes. Feel the air. Listen. Touch the ground. Let awe reopen your channel for appreciation. Slow down and name the invisible helpers. The soil, the growers, the pollinators, the microbial worlds, and the human hands behind every meal. You can ...
